Hey everyone.

I make Peersuite, an opensource free communication platform.

It's private by default, there's no sign-in or email collection.

It's peer-to-peer, there's no server, after discovery you are connected directly to your friends my AES-GCN encrypted WebRTC channels. It forms a mesh and identifies superpeers. Because there is no server, in order to save your data between sessions, you can download your workspace into a password encrypted file. Happy to answer any questions.

FEATURES:

chat with images, PMs, channels, and file send
group audio/video calling
screensharing
kanban board
whiteboard for diagrams/flowchartswith PNG export
collaborative document editing with formatted PDF export

The best way for self hosting is docker, its on dockerhub as openconstruct/peersuite. You can also download desktop versions from the github or use on the web at https://peersuite.space/

That's so cool, but wouldn't everyone need automat port forwarding/opening like UPnP IGD / PCP to initiate connection? Not everyone has this enabled

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Nah it uses https ports which are ususally open

Not trying to shill, but seems like a perfect opportunity to integrate Tailscale for network access and then use the funnel feature to connect to peers.

As good as tailscale is, I do so loathe it. It does make things easy, but I have to trust a 3rd party with my traffic and for me thats just no bueno.

You can run your own, or community run, headscale server technically.
